About this property

Oceanside beach escape and remote work paradise!

Welcome to our recently updated 1 bedroom condo redone in 2022 to support a remote work paradise or a pure escape. One queen and one full-size fold-out couch are available with linens/towels provided. Our unit has a quiet and cool mini split A/C in the main room, portable A/C in the bedroom, smart TV with cable, cable internet, several places for workstations with extra computer monitors available, and a top-of-the-line Keiser m3i spin bike (uses regular sneakers or SPD cycle shoes). The complex offers a tennis court & a 1/2 basketball court, designated grilling areas, and onsite smartphone-operated laundry.

NOTE: For the security of guests and the property, a ring doorbell is located on the front door of the unit covering the area outside of the unit around the front door. The HOA may also place cameras at various points around the complex outside of the unit.

—---------------------------------------

Like many, we never knew Topsail existed. Then we looked for a remote beach getaway that was not too busy but not completely isolated. We wanted to be not too south, but not too north. We landed in Topsail.

The residences at Topsail Reef, the community where this listing is found, provide a particularly unique Topsail experience. These buildings sit closer to the ocean than perhaps any other options on the island, and few other homes on the east coast. So close that new sandbags, as part of beach restoration efforts, are placed just under the buildings to keep the water at bay. At some higher tides, there is no beach at all and you have to go through a little water to get to sand or around to another beach access. This more southern Reef unit is just about a100ft north of a wider beach area where you can typically set up camp all day regardless of tides. Just a little further south are some dining options at the St. Regis, and a few miles south of that you'll find the Pier restaurant and Splash by the Sea. But walking to the north is a must as it will eventually take you away from all civilization and into an endless series of ankle-high lagoons.

When you are sitting on your balcony, it becomes even clearer why Topsail Reef is so special. The ocean is simply right there in your face and there is something uniquely therapeutic about just passing the time watching the tides change.

GREAT STAY w/GREAT BEACH
This was a perfect stay for me and wife. The location was great for September. Quiet and isolated beach with super warm waters. Host was super, responsive and place was clean and cozy. Will return for sure. Thank you.

Wonderful!
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and loved it! Jake and Jena were super welcoming and attentive as well as prompt with communication. They were also super accommodating due to the hurricane as well as some construction on the balcony which is why we chose to stay anyway. The private beach access was great and the beach was way less busy compared to what you could see down at the public areas which helped with relaxation. Parking was always available and we were able to check in early to the unit as well which was super helpful for us traveling from out of state! The unit had everything we needed and the a/c units kept us cool when needed. Jake and Jena also gave us recommendations on oyster and ice cream places which was really nice so we didn’t have to go searching! We would stay here again!

Honeymoon
Jake and Jena are amazing, caring and prompt hosts! Pictures of the property don’t do it justice! There were mandatory deck renovations during our stay, though the hosts made our stay very welcoming and accommodating! This location is perfect for an intimate and quiet getaway, honeymoon or business trip. We can’t recommend it enough!

About the host

Host profile image
We are Jake and Jena from Vermont. We are originally from NJ / PA area. Jake is a lawyer /software developer. Jena does digital marketing. We now spend about half our time with our 2 dogs at Topsail Reef enjoying the beach and Ocean. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Why they chose this property

We looked for a place on the coast that was not pretentious where we could have an affordable month on the Coast. We stayed just down the road from the Reef and walked by it almost each day. Within about a year, we were buying a place at the Reef.

What makes this property unique

There is just nothing as close to the ocean as this. At times, especially in the winter months, its concerning how close it is. But the way the Reef and Local community works together is amazing and every year more is being done to preserve the community. We love walking up and down the beach, and often (especially early AM), we are the only ones in sight.
